what to do with 10k troops? community strat battles?

so at some point I was attacked as a lone trader by some clan,  and decided to let them be on the receiving end of the "because I can" mentality they showed by attacking a free trader outside of their territory and fucking up 1 month of troop gathering, striking deals and trading.  I quickly realized that I dont give enough of a fuck,  and rly cant be assed to go on a one man war while its summer,  great weather and having generally more things going on of greater interest.

so now i am asking for your ideas:  what to do with just short of 10k shiny troops?

I wont be giving them away to attack random clans, because most have shown me their hospitality when my caravan was roaming calradia.

Im thinking of either attacking my own troops and doing some sort of fun battles,  theme battles,  free for all battles (low levels,  aussies,  chinese,  everyone no matter what ping or level)
or doing the same but attacking someone else,  which would result in more "free for all" battles.

any other ideas are welcome,  post away.

Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

Seems the fascists are gaining ground once again in UKR... right vving politics is SO bad for the general populace but STILL in times of trouble the uneducated turn to them for help, simply because they are so amoral they vvill supply those vvilling to fight vvith vveapons rather than knovvledge.

Time to siege a city or try to get one of the clans to do a massive field battle

As a volunteer admin I clearly have no life and live only to eradicate all fun and enjoyment from the game. Your tears of rage are all the payment I need.

Invade NA - we are a weak and spineless people your 10K shiny troops will cow all of us lightly armored peasants into obedience.

I like the idea of attacking yourself and having a few fun battles, inviting whoever the fuck wants to fight to join you. You'd need proper equipment for themed battles, though.

At the same time, this would be rather separate from the Nerd Wars of Strategus. It would be cooler if you used your army to spice things up in the Strat political scene. Attacking a faction out of the blue, for example, would certainly cause fun times to be had. You could use the idea from some other thread, and with the help of a few other nerds pretend to be the bad guys from the song of nerds and ice, invading a faction's territory from the north. You could use 6, 1.5k armies, which would doubtless all fail to capture fiefs... 6 battles, though. Perhaps you could see if anyone else  would contribute soldiers to the cause, hmm?

The problem, in any case other than a few organized battles, is that 10k troops is nothing--at least, in EU. It's not enough to make any big ripples in the murky waters (piss and mountain dew) of the Strat scene. Not unless you time things well.

If you want to be a legend on the NA side use them to take fisdar and give it to the free peasants. You will gain much status among us lowly new worlders

not sure yet what ill do,  but i like the idea of doing a few of the battles on NA side as well,  after all you got enough randomers that need battles as EU has.

Alas the cruel gods did not give NA side a Fisdar. Maybe if we liberate it we can convince the gods to transport it to NA?

Fisdnar has been preparing for this war for months now. God have mercy on your soul should you take on such a noble quest.
"As you gaze upon the cross, and long for conformity to him, be not weary or fearful because you cannot express in words what you seek. Ask him to plant the cross in your heart. Believe in him, the crucified and now living one, to dwell within you, and breathe his own mind there."

I like the way this thread is going.

To our home land or our deaths we go, on our shields or with them.
Fammi un pompino!

I think I have ball cancer in my right nut :(
Good news everybody! It's not nut cancer :)
Bad news everybody, I got dumped :(
